A note from BCD: The switch from coins to ancient objects appears to have been not such a good idea, at least if one consults the lists of realized prices. Perhaps the estimates were too high. The illustrated material though, consisting mainly of cylinder seals, engraved gems, scarabs and ancient glass, looks impressive and the photography is excellent for the period.
